    Must resist.

    Already got an RG35XX, R36S and RGB30 :D

    I don't think this will offer much over what I already have.

    Nice price though

      I see you and raise you all them 3 plus these M17, R35s, Miyoo Mini+, Retroid Pocket 3+, Sf2000 and a couple of hacked Psps and 3DS. Yeah way too many I know and actually will get rid of a few of these.

        Haha yeah I only got into retro handhelds when I got an RG35XX from this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/806079 3 months ago

        Now I have the aforementioned 3 plus an Analogue Pocket! Not to meantion the countless Game Boys, DSs, 3DSs, PSPs and Vitas. My handheld drawer is overflowing

      • robotfrom1984 on 24/01/2024 - 21:44

        Do you have a favourite one? I've been wanting to pick one up, but there's so many to choose from.

        Looking to play GB, GBA and SNES mostly. DS and N64 would be nice too.

          I really like the R36S, it's great value at around $60 AUD. The RGB30 is nice as well, but costs considerably more

          • maverickjohn on 24/01/2024 - 21:47

            @chromium: Is there one that plays psx or PSP "flawlessly"?

            • chromium on 24/01/2024 - 21:51

              @maverickjohn: Most of them play PSX well. The R36S is nice for PSX because it has analogue sticks. PSP is trickier, I don't think any of these cheap ones play it super well, better off getting an actual PSP and modding it :)

              • maverickjohn on 24/01/2024 - 21:54

                @chromium: I have a PSP but it won't turn on. I still have all my cartridges but would rather emulate I think.
                If worst comes to worst I'll try and source a psp3000

                  • maverickjohn on 24/01/2024 - 21:58

                    @Bretttick: I got an Ostent from Amazon for my PSP 1000 and it wasn't terrible. I get around 4 hours out of it.

                    @Bretttick: I actually haven't had problems with the batteries initially. It's just when you dont charge them for a while they don't seem to work. Atm all my psps are packed away. I've known about these battery mods for years. But useful information nontheless for others on here.

            • habib23q on 24/01/2024 - 22:00

              @maverickjohn: For flawless performance you really have to pay more. Besides the retroid pocket 3+ or 4 that's just come out you can get the Anbernic rg405v but that's alot more expensive.

              • maverickjohn on 24/01/2024 - 22:14

                  @maverickjohn: Yeah it is more expensive but then again after this price point your basically moving upto larger devices like the steamdeck and odin etc

                    @habib23q: Do you think $200 is bordering on too much based on the feature set you get?
                    I guess I just want a PSP without getting a PSP lol

                    • habib23q on 24/01/2024 - 22:24

                      @maverickjohn: Thats actually not AUD it's USD. It's about $320 and over here upto around $400 depending on where you buy from and current exchange rate at the time.

                      @maverickjohn: Retroid Pocket 3+ works very well for PSP. I mostly bought it to be a PSP upgrade for my 2000, with slightly larger and sharper screen (4.7") and ability to 3x upscale the games I've been playing

                      Retroid Pocket 2S should handle it well too, but the 4:3 screen is not ideal for PSP

            • The Value on 24/01/2024 - 22:51

              @maverickjohn: RG35XX H.

          • habib23q on 24/01/2024 - 21:55

            @chromium: These two are my picks as well as the Miyoo Mini+ or even the Rg35xx if you can get them cheaper. The + version here thats for sale isnt a bad price tho. But for the price there's better options out there.

            I have alot of these handhelds in a aliexpress list and just check them to see when there on sale.

    • RobBoss on 24/01/2024 - 22:15

      of all the RGxxxx, which one do you recommend for my first? I only have a 2DSXL/3DS, have never gone into the open world handheld retro game consoles.

  • bossmode on 24/01/2024 - 21:49

    This, or the Miyoo Mini+? It's been a difficult decision for me to make - has anyone got any thoughts on the two?

      It's worth watching this to make your own decision.
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIdTcgI24YA

      He goes through the specs, pricing, features etc.. It's good to know what each one offers for your own needs.

      I have the miyoo mini v2, miyoo mini + and R36S
      Have contemplating on getting the RG35XX +

      You can never have one too many handhelds.

      • iamtezr on 24/01/2024 - 21:59

        If it's between the miyoo mini+ or the RG35XX +, then i'll probably pick the miyoo mini+ for the d-pad and buttons being super smooth and i like the ease of use of Onion OS. My kids can just grab it to pick their games and play it. It's kid friendly. Don't really need to play PS1, PSP or N64 so happy to stick with the mini+. But if you want to play them then you'll need more power and going for the RG35XX + is the better choice

      • habib23q on 24/01/2024 - 22:01

        Actually you can. See above lol

        When you pass 10 or so and alot are overlapping you start to think why. Me personally i like to tinker and set them up along with all the other devices i have and move on hahaha.

        • chromium on 24/01/2024 - 22:04
          +1

          that's exactly what I do. Set them up nicely and move onto the next one lol

        • iamtezr on 24/01/2024 - 22:04
          +2

          You can never stop at one because there's always better one that comes out and you'll end up purchasing them to your collection.
          Yes there'll be some that's outdated and no longer become a favourite but during the time they came out and you used it, it was some good moments until it goes into the drawers lol

          Also i think i spend more time tinkering with it than playing the thing haha

          • habib23q on 24/01/2024 - 22:08

            @iamtezr: Yeah very true. I also forgot i have a woody rg351v which was my first modern but retro game style handheld i bought a few years back. Mind you i had an og gb and lynx back in the day and everything since at one time or another.

      • sssutanto on 25/01/2024 - 17:10

        Thanks for sharing the link. I watched but getting more confused about what i really want.
        should i just get RG35XX + (but it doesnt have the joystick).. thinking to play GB/ GBC, GBA, up to PS1.

        • Thiefsie on 25/01/2024 - 17:43

          You’ll want joysticks for PSX, otherwise go for it

  • boxall on 24/01/2024 - 22:05

    Old one played these systems fine. What about PSP and N64 and maybe even DC?

    • straustea on 24/01/2024 - 22:56

      It can play those systems but there aren't any thumbsticks. There's a horizontal form factor version, the RG35XX H, which has thumbsticks and has the same specs essentially.

      But both devices don't have good custom firmware yet like GarlicOS in the old one, which could change at some point.

  • HunterBargainHunter on 24/01/2024 - 22:18

    Always tempted, I can read from the gentleman here it’s a slippery slope, so I sooth myself and say I’ll save on multiple ones and get a steam deck.
    But do any of these have any kind of support for multiplayer?

    • iamtezr on 24/01/2024 - 22:19
      +1

      The Miyoo mini+ and RG35xx+ both have WiFi so you can play multiplayer

    • SueyJitSu on 24/01/2024 - 22:24
      +2

      In terms of local multiplayer (no internet)… I have a powkiddy x55 (about $117 from powkiddy website) and it runs Jelos. Lots of these devices can run jelos as well. Jelos has net play functionality which allows you to have one device as a host, and other devices as a client so you can have all devices playing the same game multiplayer mode.

  • The Value on 24/01/2024 - 22:48

    They just released the RG35XX H. H for horizontal and thumbsticks.

    The R36S with it's gameboy body is painful for systems that use the shoulder buttons often.

  • luke420 on 24/01/2024 - 23:25

    So i'd be playing this on the stock OS until garlic is available for the plus model, correct?

  • Wombatstew on 24/01/2024 - 23:34

    I’ve been looking at getting a retro handheld for a while now and my kids have just decided they want “a gameboy” so convinced them to save for one. Seems to be pros and cons all over the place then a new one comes out or something else goes on sale.

    Any advice on solid 1 or 2 models for couple of boys 6-9 (plus me when they are not looking). Want something that has simple and kid friendly OS (happy to mod OS), sturdy, and can play heaps of games but n64 would be the limit, if that.

    TIA.

    • Thiefsie on 24/01/2024 - 23:40
      +1

      Get an R36S for them each. Dirt cheap, runs N64/PSX (on ArkOS). Buttons aren't great and shoulder/triggers are terrible to use, but as long as you stay retro game focused (4:3 ratio screen) it's a winner.

      Pretty amazing running Half-Life on this thing for poops n giggles.

      Doesn't have wifi so you can't do multiplayer but otherwise I'm enjoying it.

    • iamtezr on 25/01/2024 - 07:13
      +1

      My kids are similar age.
      I would agree with the above to get them the R36S when it's on sale for about ~$60AUD (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/827333) but looks like price has gone up to $42USD+gst (~$70AUD).

      I found the miyoo mini+ to be there go to as it's slightly smaller and perfect for their hands. This was the cheapest seller at $45USD+gst (~$75AUD) usually goes for about ~$100AUD.
      https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005944518653.html (only Retro Grey and White available at the moment)

      R36S running ArkOS is user friendly, just a bit more steps for updating the firmware using OTG adapter and wifi dongle(sold separately) or OTG to phone to update. Buttons a bit more stiff, trigger buttons more clicky but has joysticks. 3.5" screen.
      Miyoo Mini+ running Onion OS is also user friendly, updating firmware and game via SD, wifi built in so can multiplayer together. Buttons are soft, trigger not clicky at all. 3.5" screen and form factor is slightly smaller.

      Either one can't go wrong. Miyoo Mini+ can't handle N64 and less ram & power compared to R36S.

      Comparison here:
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIdTcgI24YA

      If you do get the R36S, I would recommend doing the D-pad and button fix. Pretty easy and will improve them. D-pad just need to loosen a screw about 1 turn. Buttons, just need to cut the plastic that joins the 2 buttons together. Not flush cut as you need part of it to hold it into the console.

      @Thiefsie @iamtezr @codaroma Thank you. I never came across that comparison video but was perfect. Went with r36s for the kids as looks fun out the box and having sticks for N64 is great. Will definately do a few of the simple mods to improve the feel. I also said screw it and got myself a r35xx+ which I'm sure will end up with them quite a bit.

      • iamtezr on 01/02/2024 - 22:05

        forgot to share this. once you get the R36s google 'R36s - ArkOS image 12152023' it will give you the latest link to latest OS update (1-27-2024).
        Simply get the image, use rufus to copy the file to sd card and it'll update to the latest OS. no need for phone or wifi adapter.

  • Phoebus on 24/01/2024 - 23:56

    Isn't powkiddy RGB30 better and about same price?

    • Schmiddler on 25/01/2024 - 06:18

      Not strictly better. Very similar specs in terms of emulation and a different form factor and aspect ratio.

      I have both and would say it depends on the system/game.
